School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 3-Lesser-known dinosaurs come to life in this series for the early grades. Basic facts, such as what each dinosaur ate and how they lived, are paired with full-page, scientifically rendered digital illustrations that will captivate and excite young readers. Words and concepts are in bold, which may prompt discussion and encourage vocabulary development. The books also provide an introduction to the fossils of each dinosaur, as well as illustrations of where the fossils were geographically discovered. Maps of each discovery site provide context; a glossary of new terms and more fast facts are included at the end of each book, inspiring further exploration. VERDICT A much-needed addition to any Spanish or bilingual collection to help mono- or dual-language readers discover dinosaurs beyond T. rex. © Copyright 2018.

Booklist Review

It's no secret what preschoolers will find lurking in the pages of the Dinosaurs series, each volume of which examines one type of dinosaur. Here young readers can learn about when the dinosaur lived, its body and diet, and where its fossils have been found. Though Iguanodon presents contradictory information about whether this plant-eating dinosaur walked on two or four legs, readers will enjoy the fact that scientists used to think the creature's thumb spikes were small horns. Written for beginning readers, the text never more than a few lines is printed over a faded image of dinosaur bones, while an illustration dominates each two-page spread (either a digitally created scene or a photo of a museum display, model, or fossil). Hansen's writing strikes a nice balance between simple and scientific, incorporating weights and measurements and words like Cretaceous and sauropod; however, no pronunciation key is given. Each book ends with an informative More Facts section and a well-worded glossary.--Smith, Julia Copyright 2017 Booklist
